Iran Press/ Iran news: On Friday, April 1, 2022, Iranians across the country, simultaneously with Tehran, celebrated the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Islamic Republic.
Forty-two years ago, in 1979, the Iranians' enthusiasm for a political system based on Islamic values gained momentum when more than 98 percent of the eligible voters in a two-day national referendum cast ballots in favor of the Islamic Republic's establishment.
Every year, Iran commemorates the anniversary of the beginning of the Islamic Republic on Farvardin 12th, dubbed the "Islamic Republic Day."
Islamic Republic Day is a public holiday in Iran observed on the twelfth day of the first Persian month of Farvardin.
The establishment of the new political system came as the Iranian nation ousted the US-backed regime of Shah, putting an end to the 2500-year monarch rule in Iran.
